Intro and theory

[thefinalpansy.livejournal.com]

Hi there, first time post I don't need to tell you I'm here coz I love Code Geass
I looked through the memories page for as long as I could manage haha and saw nothing of this, apologies beforehand if it's buried there. Whilst looking for screencaps, oddly enouhg, I found a theory so here is where I disclaim this being my theory [although now I'm pondering over it] and stick everythin spoilery under a cut =]
Okay, so I found the screenshots and whoever had put them there mentioned that after the series finished it was brought up that perhaps Lelouche never died at all. I've seen the theories of him being R.R and immortal and all the rest but I've never seen this. The person claimed perhaps that Sayoko was dressed as Lelouche [she's not in the wedding photo and we all  want Li Xingke to be the photographer =3], plausible since she had already done this when he had to run between Ashford and the Chinese federation, and therefore she died in his place and Lelouche lives on. If you consider his nature, it's likely he could have done this because I'm sure he'd of much preferred to win BUT he had lost a lot by this point. I don't know. Discuss it guys!

One of ZR aspects was about Lelouch atoning about his sin, committing suicide indirectly. He chose that, so yeah.
Fans raved about it, and started making theories like the above, and Okouchi, the writer, said that Lelouch is indeed dead, having accomplished his goals. So yeahx2.

Now, if Sunrise in the future decides to milk the series {possible} they could, if they want, bring Lelouch back, with some fucked-up explanation with the Code.

But, Lelouch faking his death, is way off the table, because it would go against the last arc literally, and even Lelouch's chara as well.

Yeah yeah true, ah he said that, I didnt know.
Like I said this is just something I found, when I watched the finale I kinda just accepted Lelouche had died *shrugs* this was just a spanner in the works haha. I'm more concerned about the lack of Tohdoh images around *nods*

Even if we were to ignore the fact that Lelouch wanted to die to atone his sins or the fact the writer said he's dead we can see in the last Picture Book (placed after Zero Requiem) that Sayoko is alive. So unless Lelouch is now posing as Sayoko (a thing I don't believe at all) Lelouch is dead and Sayoko is alive.



Also in the anime we see that, while Lelouch is parading (and will be killed short after) Sayoko is trapped in a prison with Lloyd, Rakshata, Cecilie and Nina. So there's no way they exchanged places.

well, jjblue1 I believe you just cleared this up. I hadn't seen the picture book thing but thats a good point about the prison cell. I guess there was no harm just throwing this out there ^^'' and I finally made a debut post =] so anyone know where I can find Tohdoh images, he appears not to be popular D=

If you're responding to someone else's comment, hit "reply" under their comment. Otherwise, they won't know that you're talking to them.

[thefinalpansy.livejournal.com]

Yeah I've been told this elsewhere but thanks anyway

[cryingcat613.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[rafira.livejournal.com]

You've been told this but you didn't think to do it...? jjblue1 has no idea that you praised them :3

[thefinalpansy.livejournal.com]

I was told at the same time on a different comm, thats why I didnt think to do it, I'll do so now that I know this, I thought all commenters were notified is all

[rafira.livejournal.com]

Nah, otherwise our inboxes would get spammed by everyone elses' replies that we didn't need to know about :3

Hopefully you'll do that from now on, huh? :D

... I really don't think it's at all in Lelouch's character to make Sayoko die in his place so that he can go off and live lalala in the countryside with CC. At all.

[cryingcat613.livejournal.com]

I'm going to agree with this. He said earlier in the series that only those who are prepared to die can shoot, and because of that I can't see him killing all of those people (including Sayoko, who was one of his most loyal servants) to go frolic.

[snowdevil-crow.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I mean, I don't want to come off as a bitch, because everyone has different character interpretations, etc etc, I just... I can't see that. I just can't.

[cryingcat613.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Arthur love!
